Trance producer Mat Zo has spent this past week tweeting about his frustrations with the state of dance music and culture today. He expressed his disappointment with EDM, pretty much saying that electronic music used to be created and appreciated by nerds until the scene got appropriated by douches who are into partying, getting laid, and living a lavish lifestyle.

Here's some stuff he revealed (for those who don't want to read all of his tweets):-Armin Van Buuren and Markus Schulz trap talented artists by luring them with shitty record deals-a lot of the big name DJs will pay around $100,000 to secure their headlining slot on a festival lineup-Skrillex, Above & Beyond, Eric Prydz, and Deadmau5 "are some of the only real people who headline festivals"-Diplo started off by producing his own music, but now he largely uses ghost producers-Calls Diplo out for posting a picture of his dick and argues with Deadmau5

IAWTCA-Trak is fucking amazing. I stuck around the stage he was performing at because I didn't feel like leaving, and holy hell the man can put on a show. Major Lazer killed it too, but Diplo is a dick.

Of the people he listed only Above and Beyond still prove interesting throughout the years. Their by-product OceanLab is still my shit. However, AVB featuring Nadia Ali is <3. Tiesto is the trance cockroach.

Also people who "rep" EDM on instagram and other social media are insufferable. It's often a tag line of: gym, EDM, other buffoonery.

That bitch. I'm so tired of waiting on her fucking album Phoenix though. It was supposed to be out in like 2012? Bitch, you ain't Dre. Stop serving us Detox teas and drop that shit already. She keeps teasing on instagram too, posting pics of ha ass in the studio. Like, where's the new bops sis???

fucking hate EDM music, they all need to go. I can't believe people pay tons of money to go to their ~concert, it's basically a party where everyone stares the same way and drinks cost twice as much as a party.

lol. i was in miami for ultra and miami music week last spring break and ended up hanging out with him for a while. we were at cameo and were invited in the VIP area and he kept flirting with my friend. she ended up leaving day 1 of ultra early to hang out with him, but she's a virgin and ~pure and didn't let him get the goods. she did have some real good tea to spill. i do not doubt any of these above tweets

it was my first time in miami, and my friends wanted to see Mat Zo and RL Grimes perform (even though they were playing at ultra anyways smh). their drink prices were fucking RIDIC. i paid like $30 for a water and a vodka soda (they gave me a fucking Fiji bottle). then when we got pulled up to VIP, it was unlimited grey goose vodka...

i also met one of the girls from DREAM. she came up to us and was like, "i used to be a popstar, was in a girlgroup" and of course i was drunk and excited. she made us take so many pics lmao. Where do you live, boo?
